MartinBlomberg Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hi, When I'm trying to use the Z button (snap loupe) this happens. Please watch video attached. This kinda doesn't work right? I it does, what am I missing. I want to be able to click on small details even though I'm zoomed out. Thanks! Vectorworks Designer 2021 - [Arena17.vwx] 2020-11-11 10-25-51.mp4 Quote Link to comment
0 Tom W. Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Your video looks to be showing the correct behaviour for the snap loupe. It is really only an aid to ensure you are clicking on the right snap point. Your cursor needs to be pretty close to the point in question when you press Z because the zoom area is quite small. Once you click on the point the loupe disappears + you automatically return to the drawing. It's not designed for doing any more than clicking on a tricky snap point. It is not an alternative to zooming in properly. You can hit Z more than once to zoom in further still if your snap points are really congested. Hit ESC to leave the snap loupe without clicking on anything. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hi,
When I'm trying to use the Z button (snap loupe) this happens. Please watch video attached.
This kinda doesn't work right? I it does, what am I missing. I want to be able to click on small details even though I'm zoomed out.
Thanks!
